Deep within the Time Temple, in a secluded space.
Ling Yu sat cross-legged, her long purple hair moving without wind, surrounded by countless silver lightning bolts and pale purple time ripples.
The aura of the Lightning-Time Fusion Law reached its peak within her.
The Seventh Layer of perfection is just one step away!
Since her teacher bestowed upon her the Beast God Heart, Ling Yu has cultivated in the Time Temple for countless years.
What is nearly 20,000 years outside is 200 million years inside the Time Temple.
During this period, she also received ten inheritances from the Ancestral God Religion, each time pushing her understanding of the Lightning-Time Fusion Law to new heights.
From the Seventh Layer of entry, to the Seventh Layer of peak, and now to the Seventh Layer perfection.
She finally stood before the threshold of the Universe Master.
"It's time to break through to the Universe Master!"
Ling Yu slowly opened her eyes, a resolute glint in them.
She had waited a long time for this day.
She persevered through two hundred million years of tedious cultivation. At this final moment, she absolutely could not falter, otherwise she would be letting down her teacher and her own dream.
44
Ling Yu understands better than anyone why she has achieved what she has today.
Everything is a teacher.
If she weren't a teacher, with her talent, she could at most enter the Virtual Universe Company's Heaven and Earth Secret Realm.
It was her teacher who guided her into the Time Law.
It was the teacher who changed her bloodline.
It was her teacher's help that made her the champion of that year's Genius Battle.
Later, her teacher guided her cultivation step by step, enhancing her potential and developing her bloodline to its fullest potential. He also bestowed upon her the most core Supreme Treasure of the One-Horned One-Horned Ghost King lineage, causing her talent to undergo an incredible transformation.
After that, I went to the Ancestral God Religion.
The teacher not only bestowed upon her 10,000 Glory Points.
Just when she was stuck in a bottleneck, he bestowed upon her the Beast God Heart, which even the Universe Master was mad about. If it weren't for that Beast God Heart, she would never have reached this point.
Without her teacher, her achievements would probably have been limited to King Rank at best. It was her teacher who changed her and rewrote her destiny.
The teacher was such a great help to her!
Ling Yu took a deep breath, steadied her emotions, and began the final sprint.
Lightning and time Fusion Law into countless strange points of light, bursting forth from her body and weaving into a vast scroll of laws above her head.
Within that scroll, lightning and time intertwine, evolving into countless wondrous scenes.
During this process, the Beast God Heart within her body slowly manifested. With the assistance of the Beast God Heart, lightning and the Time Law completely merged into one, reaching a perfect state.
"Break!"
Ling Yu let out a low shout, and all the divine power within his body suddenly erupted.
The scroll of laws gradually became clearer, eventually transforming into the most perfect path of Fusion Law, like a perfect Secret Pattern Diagram recording the Lightning-Time Fusion Law.
Her aura began to grow stronger.
The evolution of the body also brings about the enhancement of the will.
"It's done!"
Sensing the changes in her divine body, Ling Yu's eyes flashed with surprise, and she immediately stepped out of the Time Temple.
They have just appeared on the land of the Divine Kingdom.
A vast Sea of Laws condensed above her head.
The Sea of Laws wasn't particularly turbulent, but its divine power was incredibly pure, with lightning and the Time Law surging within it, radiating a terrifying pressure.
This is a gift from the Primal Universe to the Universe Master.
The Sea of Laws surged wildly, and Endless divine power poured into Ling Yu's divine body.
Her divine body underwent continuous transformation under the baptism of divine power, from Universe Venerable to Universe Master —a qualitative leap, and her divine power increased a hundredfold.
A terrifying pressure emanated from her, so strong that it caused the entire void of the Divine Kingdom to tremble slightly.
Success!
Ling Yu slowly opened her eyes, a hint of excitement flashing within them.
Two hundred million years of arduous cultivation, countless inheritances, and the Beast God Heart bestowed by his teacher—all have paid off.
She finally became the Universe Master! And she successfully transformed more than 50% of her divine body.
At this moment, her strength has undergone a tremendous change.
[Your disciple Ling Yu broke through to the Universe Master using the Dao of Thunder Time Fusion, receiving a ten-thousand-fold return; your experience in the Time Law has been increased.]
The cashback offer arrived the instant Ling Yu broke through.
The Lightning-Time Fusion Law has its limits.
He has perfected it.
However, the Time Law alone are far from their limits, and Lu Qingshan still gained countless experience points.
These returned items are mysterious and elusive, not much different from the returns his disciples received when they broke through to the Universe Venerable. They are all things that Lu Qingshan cannot understand now. Although he can vaguely know what they are, he cannot use them or understand their underlying principles.
This is similar to World Lord Level receiving the Strongest Secret Technique from the Universe Master from the Primal Universe.
Even if you don't understand the principles or meet the conditions for using it, you can still roughly know what the effect will be.
"It's still a bit lacking, but judging from this breakthrough in Ling Yu, the help I received from breaking through to the Universe Master far surpasses that of my younger brother."
"My son has grown much larger after breaking through to the Universe Venerable, which is good news for me."
Of course, this cashback isn't entirely useless.
At least for now, Lu Qingshan probably has the potential to create Fifth-Tier Secret Technique even with just the laws of Law of Lightning or Time Law. In the entire Primal Universe, there is probably no one who has a deeper grasp of the Time Origin Law than him.
Instead of trying to understand these things, Lu Qingshan looked in Ling Yu's direction.
Ling Yu also noticed him.
"Teacher, I've succeeded!"
Ling Yu's voice was filled with barely concealed excitement. Universe Master, she had never imagined that she could reach such a height.
"Hmm, very good, excellent----" A look of satisfaction flashed in Lu Qingshan's eyes. For him, the Ling Yu just now was just a bonus; the most important thing was the cashback bestowed after the breakthrough.
Lu Qingshan already sensed that he could now bestow upon Ling Yu Top-tier Supreme Treasure, and what he was returning was the Supreme Supreme Treasure even the Universe Supreme Master Primal Universe desired.
Among the Human Race, there is not a single Supreme Supreme Treasure left, but Lu Qingshan can now possess at least a complete set at any time.
" Ling Yu!" Lu Qingshan looked at his disciple, not in a hurry to bestow upon her the Supreme Treasure, not because of the one-year cashback cooldown.
He didn't know the timeframe, but rather he knew what his disciple was about to do.
He said gently, "After your breakthrough, you will become the 21st Universe Master our Human Race."
"21st." Ling Yu blinked; clearly, this was the first time she had heard this fact.
"That's right, it's 21 people. Our Virtual Universe Company has 8, Giant Axe Arena has 5, the Universe Mercenary Alliance has 3, the Universe First Bank has 3, and the Universe Galaxy Bank has 2."
Lu Qingshan only mentioned it briefly and didn't go into details. He continued, "Once your identity Universe Master is confirmed, you will naturally get to know the other Universe Master. But right now, there's no rush to inform you. This is your most vulnerable time. The first thing you need to improve is your ability to protect yourself. Once Universe Master falls, they cannot be resurrected!"
"Teacher, I understand." Ling Yu nodded. She naturally knew that her teacher was thinking of her.
Although she has broken through to the level of Universe Master, she can only be described as the weakest Universe Master at present.
With a 100-fold Gene Multiplier and a 100-fold increase in amplitude, the divine body is not large, the divine power is only half converted, and no secret techniques at the level of Universe Master have been created. Apart from the Supreme Treasure, everything else is at the level of the weakest Universe Master.
According to her understanding of the classification of Universe Master, she is currently only First-Tier Universe Master. Even stronger Top Universe Overlord, such as Purple Rain Venerable of the Ancestral God Religion, could easily defeat her.
"You know that's good. Among the top-tier races, almost none of the First-Tier Universe Master go out to operate, precisely to prevent assassination by Alien Race. As long as you get through this most vulnerable early period, reach the Level 2 in strength, and possess the Palace Supreme Treasure, the problem won't be too big."
"Alright, I know you want to do something. You can do it now, and return to my Divine Kingdom immediately afterward. I will help you get through this period quickly. As for the 100 Supreme Treasure Point from the clan, you don't need to confirm your identity or claim them for now. I have plenty of Supreme Treasure Point and resources."
"Master, I understand. I'll be right back. I'd like to take Ling Xi with me."
Ling Yu glanced back in the direction of the Time Temple.
"Okay, go find her. Don't worry too much. It's generally quite safe in Human Territory. Keep my World Tree Clone leaf with you. I can sense your location, and if you're in danger, I can come to your aid."
Lu Qingshan spoke calmly.
"Teacher, I'll be going now!"
Ling Yu bowed and entered the Time Temple. Soon she brought Ling Xi out.
Passing through layers of Space Torrent, Ling Yu left the Divine Kingdom and immediately Teleportation to the Golden Billow Universe Country.
Canglan Star is the core planet in the star system adjacent to the Ganwu Universe Country.
However, compared to tens of thousands of years ago, this place is no longer as prosperous as it once was.
Because Canglan King has fallen, without a powerful King Rank to oversee things, even the most important commercial planet in the star field will gradually weaken.
Ling Yu and Ling Xi stood outside the planet, looking at this enormous planet with a diameter of hundreds of thousands of kilometers.
"Sister, you said that Father and Mother both perished here?"
Ling Xi tugged at her sister's sleeve, a little nervous.
She had absolutely no memory of her father and mother, since she was still an infant when her father entrusted her to Uncle Spirit Soul Star's family.
Over the years, she had asked her sister where their father and mother had gone, but every time she asked, her sister said she didn't know, though she could feel the sadness in her sister's heart.
So she never asked again after that.
"Yes, our father was named Ling Huan. He was World Lord before breaking through to the Immortal Army Lord. Our mother was named Xi He, and she was also a World Lord. They truly loved each other, which is why we were born. They both perished here."
Ling Yu didn't want to explain the reasons.
" Ling Xi, you watch from the side. I will bring our father and mother back to life right now."
That's all.
With a wave of her hand, Ling Yu imprisoned the entire planet with an invisible force of Time-Space, and then time began to slowly flow backward.
Ling Huan died only 20 years ago, and soon in the river of time, she found the handsome man in black battle armor.
After Time Stop at the location where the father is, time continues to flow backwards elsewhere.
Soon, Ling Yu found her mother, a woman with short, ear-length hair and a spirited air about her.
"Accelerate!!"
Apart from the two people who were locked on, time accelerated rapidly, and the images of the planet resembled layers upon layers of images.
Hundreds of millions of kilometers away, in a void.
A powerful figure with blood-red wings, shrouded in Black Mist, looked towards Canglan Star, his eyes flashing with shock and fear. " Reverse Time and Space!"
"It's the Universe Master Reverse Time and Space!"
He had witnessed the resurrection of powerful figures by the great Lord Huang Jian of the Universe Mercenary Alliance, and thus understood its significance.
" Ling Yu —the disciple of the Lord of Myriad Laws —she—has become the Universe Master— "
Suddenly, he remembered something, and his expression changed drastically.
He immediately contacted a friend in the Virtual Universe.
" Void Venerable, have you submitted the list of those to be resurrected next time?"
"It's already been reported, but it shouldn't have reached the Great Universe Master yet. Do you have any questions?"
A kind-looking old man in a white robe said with a smile.
"Do me a favor and remove the name of Canglan King from the resurrection list!" Nightmare Shadow Venerable said anxiously.
" Nightmare Shadow —are you sure? You paid a heavy price for this resurrection. Are you really going to remove the name? If you do, those resources will—"
"No need to return it, you just need to remove my name from the form, please!!"
The Nightmare Shadow Venerable spoke urgently.
"Hmm, I'll remove your name now, you don't need to rush." Void Venerable knew something must have happened, otherwise Nightmare Shadow Venerable wouldn't have suddenly changed his mind, refusing to revive his disciple, and even abandoning the resources for revival. But he was smart enough not to ask any further questions.
After hanging up the call, Nightmare Shadow Venerable let out a sigh of relief, feeling somewhat dazed.
" Canglan!"
My son.
I'm sorry.
The trouble you've caused is too great. I can't risk offending a Universe Master by resurrecting you! If I were to resurrect you, the next time it might be my son and I who die."
After all, he was his own flesh and blood. Although it was a risk, Nightmare Shadow Venerable still planned to resurrect his son. Afterwards, he only needed to let his son leave the Human Territory and live in the Nine Domains Alliance or the Thorn Ring Alliance, so that he would not be discovered by Ling Yu again, since his son himself came from the Thorn Ring Alliance.
Of course, that's on the premise that Ling Yu is Universe Venerable.
The other party is Universe Venerable, and he is also Universe Venerable, so the other party cannot kill him.
But now the situation is completely different!
Ling Yu, this prodigy, has now become a pillar of the Human Race.
Forget about resurrecting his son; he doesn't even dare to acknowledge the relationship. If it were a master-disciple relationship, he could use ignorance as an excuse, but if it were a father-son relationship, a simple charge of "negligence in discipline" would be enough to get him into serious trouble.
Taking a deep breath, Nightmare Shadow instantly Teleportation outside of Canglan Star.
If he could spot Ling Yu, then the other party could naturally spot him as well.
"Greetings, Lord Purple Feather Star Master."
The Nightmare Shadow Venerable bowed respectfully.
Why are you here?
Ling Yu glanced at him.
"Reporting to you, my lord, Canglan Star seems to have come to a standstill for a moment. The Virtual Universe detected the anomaly, so I came to check it out," Nightmare Shadow Venerable hurriedly explained.
Ling Yu looked down at her parents, who had already been resurrected, and simply said, "You seem quite interested in Canglan Star! Go ahead, Canglan Star is fine. Don't tell anyone about my visit to Canglan Star."
"Understood."
Nightmare Shadow Venerable felt relieved, bowed respectfully, and quickly turned to leave.
